Even better, maybe add TLSA records too! TLSA when combined with DNSSEC can replace the need for Certificate authorities. If you want to show independence from CAs, that's one way to do it.

TLSA replaces certificate authorities like LetsEncrypt with DNS registrars, and, in the process, gives up certificate transparency and the rest of WebPKI surveillance; WebPKI surveillance has resulted in the termination of some of the largest certificate authorities, for misissuance; meanwhile, your browser can't terminate the TLD operators. It's not a good tradeoff.
